I caught a mermaid
In the last days of summer
My net couldn’t hold
44.84302, -84.29101
It was late July
The grey dawn made us quiet
We were still screaming
43.67745, -110.72535
We should have lingered
But the road called us forward
Our hearts weren’t ready
43.52777, -116.04738
You should have slapped me
It would have said everything
That came years later
